WORST FLOOD IN TEN YEARS
Damajt Cautd bj Indian Critic Greatttt
Sine. 1900.
SEA OF MUD LEFT BY THE OVERFLOW
llonaehulitera Avrnke to Kind Furni

Good for l)ninne
Knit.
The damngo caused by Indian creek over
flowing Us banks yesterday morning Is the
greatest in several years. Not since the
memorable overflow In 1900 has a larger
area been flooded and the streets and ave
nues west of Soventh street nnd north of
nroadway for many blocks are a veritable
sea of mud and slime. Low-lying lots arc
several feot under water, while hundreds
of cellars In. tho houses on Avenues A, B
and C, and afreets running north from
Broadway between Eighth and Thirteenth
stress, are ful( of iwater. The prospects
are bright for nno'ther batch of damage
suits 'against the1 city.
Tho creek first left Its banks at tho Sov
enth street brldgo, the water pouring Into
tho low ground east nnd west of the streot.
The cfillar of Ous" Hlnrlch's building was
badly flooded, the water working In under
tho foundation. At tho northwest corner
of Seventh street and Broadway the wood
yard of Wltcko Bros. Is several feet under
water In places. The same Is true of all
low-lying lots on tho north side of Broad
way from this point to tho Illinois Central
depot.
An Imraenso amount of debris was
washed down the creek and found lodgment
at the Seventh Eighth, Ninth ami Tenth !
street bridges, forming effective dams and
causing the water to back up and overflow. I
At Eighth street the debris was piled high 1
up on the platform of the bridge. Just
west of the True block at( Eighth and
Broadway the water flowed over Into
Broadway until tho street nt that point
was filed from curb to curb. Tho water
poured north and south on Eighth streot
In a torrent, carrying with It a deep layer
of mud nnd debris.
Mttlim' Itnonm Are Aflnnt.
Two cottages on the north side of the
Eighth street bridge were badly flooded,
the water being a foot deep In the sitting
rooms, Tho Metropolitan hotel as inual
suffered severely, tho water pourlns
through the first floor ln a deluge.
Broadway from Tenth streat to the Thir
teenth street crossing Just nest cf thc Illi
nois. Central's tracks Is a sea of mud,
which a large force of men was end avrr
Ing yesterday to clean off. The Northwest
ern tracks were covered with about a foot
of mud and tho company had a large force
of men yesterday digging It off.
The sidewalk on the south side of Broad
way from Tenth street to the Northwest
ern depot was covered with a dcpo.tlt of
mud and the low-lying ground tou'h nf
Broadway between l.Tnlnn nvenue and
Twelfth street is under n foot of water.
The basements of all the buildings on b.-.th
sides of Broadway between these points
were flooded.
Tho creek began to rise about 12:10
o'clock and a few minutes after 1 it m
overflowing Its banks. It began to subside
about 3 o'clock. The hrivy rain east of thc
rlty caused tho turbulent little creek to go
on tho rampage and the little slugls'.t
stream of a few Inches ln depth was In lc3S
than half an hour transformed Into a roar
ing torrent fifteen or more feot deep.

Pon't
roundmaster Burke and his corps of as
sistant dogcatchers are having all kinds
of trouble. No sooner had Mrs. Ellen Dunn
caused the arrest of Deputy Dogcatcher
Nerllng than Mrs. Brayman, 2133 South
Ninth streot, wanted Justice Bryant to lssuo
a warrant for "the man who had como
right up Into her ynrd and taken her pet
dog away," Tho justice told Mrs, Bray
man ho would Issue the warrant as soon as
sho found out tho man's name. Mrs. Bray
man did not return to the. Justice's ofllco,
so It Is presumed she Is still on the trail
of the deputy dogcatcher's name.
One of Poundmaster Burke's' deputies is
also atd to have carried away Into cap
tivity a bull terrier belonging to Alderman
Huber' and the latter Is said to have threat
ened to get the deputy's scalp. Mr. Huber
Is Indignant, as ho avers the tax for his
terrier bad been duly paid.
Burke has filed an Information before
Justice Bryant charging Orvillo Cox, 13
years old, of South Ninth street, with
carrying concealed weapons, Ho alleges
that young Cox Inbjrfored with him ln the
performance of his official duties as dog
catcher of the city of Council Bluffs. It
was while Bitrko and his deputies were
catching the canine belonging to Mrs.
Brayman that the trouble occurred. Young
Cox and some other lads of a'llke age told
tho dogcatchers that they had better not
come (o their places looking for dogs, clso
they would make It warm for them. To

opinion In a peculiar case, but one which
wl:i hive general Interest throughout the

..; . . j .1 , ... .1...
"Uy olllces cannot be II led that way; hat
there must be a special election! that It
cannot be held as a part of tho general
election for slato olilecrs, because of tho
Tact that'qualineattons for electors In cities
and towns differ slightly from the qualifica
tions for clcctois of tho state, and if the
municipal election was allowed as a part
of tho general election there would be
confusion as to tho .qualification of elcc
tots. There Is no direct law on tho sub
ject, but by Inference It Is rendered im
possible to havo the two kinds of elec
tions at cno nnd tho same time. Tho
election may be on 'tho'samo day, but there
would hnvo to be different election ofTl
coio and ballot boxes. There nro a number

I'olltlcnl Conference.
An important political conference was
held here today between tho members of tho
republican state committee and tho county
chairmen from different parts of tho state
There were present nt this conference about
forty of inp county chairmen and also a
number of tho members of congress, in
cluding Speaker Hondcrson, Mr. Hepburn,
Mr. Cousins nnd others. The entire con
gressional delegation had been Invited to
be present.' hut some of tho'mombors hnd
been at the previous conference with tho
state committee, mo chief business he-
fore tho conferenrrj'-vas to agree on the
general plan of vorlf rnd to receive re
ports' on the condlui
'on of tho party In dif
ferent 3octloni-ptJLhe, eUatc. The county
chairmen generally reported that nil nf
the pre-convcntlo'n factional feeling has
dlsapp'arcd and 'pip republican party ln
Iowa is as completely upifert and har
monious rts In the presidential election.
Thero la a. great d'pniand for speakers and
a desire (hat a number of good political
meetings bo held In every county of tho
state. Mr. Cummins Is in great demand
and It will be Impossible for htm to fill
all the dates deslrc,d for him, although ho
win ppcait twice a nay on Bcvoral occa
sion's. Senator Dnlllver Is next In de
mand and ho will begin his campaign next
week nt Atlantic with a big meeting. Gov
ernor Shaw is also,ln demand and the mem-
nors or congress. John Herriott will ho
given good dates nnd will begin week after
next with a thorough, canvass of tho state.
Mr. Cummins' meetings In southorn and
southwestern Iowa thus far hayo been well
attended and the republicans are thoroughly
aroused. Although tho campaign is en
tirely on one side yet the republicans are
making It as interesting as possible.
Krlctlnii In llemnprntlr Committee.
Thero Is evidence that thero is some fric
tion ln tho management of tho democratic
campaign. At headquarters today thero
was much surprise that the first Informa
tion the state committee should receive of
tho letter of J. Phillips, candldato for gov
ernor, In which ho defines his position nnd
virtually outlines what tho campaign Is to
be, should have "come to the committee
through the medium of n Chicago news
paper. The' stato committee was not con
sulted nt all In fact the slate committee
appears to havo been Ignored nnd each
cnndldate is conducting a carapalgn'on his
own hook. The fact that the stato com
mittee Is controlled by tho free silver ele
ment and all tho candidates aro of tho gold
brand may have something to do with this
friction.

The regents of the Iowa Stato university
have asked the next legislature to double
'the permanent university tax levy of 1-10

and to make It one-fifth of 1 mill. They
also, ask an increase ln the annual appro
priation for the university of $35,000, The
present Income Is J 185,000 annually, but
with the Increaso aaked for from the legis
lature direct and the Increase In the tax
levy would raise the annual Income to over
1300,000 a year, which the regents believe
would give them enough to da good work
with. They also will ask the legislature to
authorize the construction of a $200,003

to call for aomo action on the part of the

DUBUQUE, la., Sept.. 27, (Special.)
Seven citizens who were members of tho
city .council In 1891-97 and who drew $300
pear year each "on account" hayo sued
tho city to recover each $200 per year extra
with Interest, and ono who served In 1337
to flit a vacancy and who received $300 asks
$200 more.
Theso ex-aldcrmen rely on tho fact that
the city council In 1S9S undertook to raise
the aldermanlc salary from $300 to $500 per
year hy resolution which stood unrepealed
during tho period covered by those suits.
The nldermen who adopted tho resolution
wero Indicted fpr voting on a question In
which they wcro Interested, contrary to
section 5 of tho city charter. Judgo Water-
man sustained a demurrer to the Indictment
on thc ground that tho charter gavo the
council the right to fix thc salaries of all
city officers and to increase or diminish
them at Its pleasure.
The city has heretofore denied liability
for such claims as the presont on the ground
that the city council of 1S95 did not cosay
to fix the salaries of succeeding councils,,
but undortook merely to fix tho salaries of
Its own members, which It had no authority
to do, and that Its action was thorcforo
void.
